919: One last bet

Link says he'll take all of the Month honors this season.

There is no doubt that this big melon has everyone waiting to see Link out of the cracks.

There are six NBA chances of the month in a season, and Link can get three of them in the competitive West, which is quite remarkable.

In the 09-10 season, even in the less competitive East, James only won four Player of the Month awards.

And this record has been considered almost impossible to break. Without the right time, place and environment, even James could no longer replicate his miracle of winning the best of the month four times in a single season.

As for winning all the awards of the month in a single season, this is even more of a fantasy.

It's even harder than last season when Link got the unanimous MVP.

After all, MVP is a whole season's performance, and if you put the scale so long, there really is no player in the league who can compare to Link.

Because the scale is longer, the occasional outbursts of others are less convincing. But the best of the month is different, you just need to play better than Link this month to take the best of the month.

One player plays a dozen games a month, and if you break out five or six of these dozen games, you have a chance to beat Link and win the best game of the month.

In the first three months, although Curry and Harden lost to Link in the selection, they were not far from being the best of the month.

So, Link almost set an impossible flag.

In the past, Link always walked the talk, slapping countless reporters, fans and opponents in the face.

He's done things that no one has done before, and he's set incredible records.

All-Star voting record, 74 wins in a single season, consecutive triple-doubles, and more.

But this time is different, even fans who like Link feel that Link is talking too much this time.

Link said he just wanted to be the best of all the months, but he didn't say he had to. It's like if a player says he wants to win a championship, does he have to win it? ”

"Link just said something that everyone would say, so he doesn't need to go online, right?"

"What's the point of holding Link? Please pay attention to James and the Cavaliers, who have won 10 in a row! ”

On the web, Link's fans are frantically exonerating him.

But such a voice was too small, and it was soon drowned out by a scolding.

Bill. Simmons naturally won't let go of such an opportunity.

He thought he had found a chance to defeat Link countless times, but he was wrong. But this time, Bill. Simmons is confident.

Win all of the Player of the Month in a single season? What an international joke!

Even the "forcing kings" Jordan and Bird did not have such a tone.

Simmons is convinced that he will never roll over this time. Even if Link has the ability to get through the sky, he can't win all the six player of the month.

Link has won too many times, but no one can win all the time.

So on the night of February 3rd, Link had just won the day after the best of the month. Simmons couldn't wait to appear on a show.

He was determined to make one last bet with Link.

"Win all the Player of the Month last season? Seriously, it's an unimaginable thing. I've seen so many great stars, and I grew up watching the NBA. But no one, any player, can be the best in six months in a season. ”

Simmons smiled playfully in front of the TV, "As we all know, I've always disliked Link. Because I don't think he's the greatest athlete yet, he's great, but not the greatest. I couldn't stand the fact that people were flirting him with the greatest athletes, so today, I decided to make another bet with Link. At the same time, it is also the last bet. If he wins, then from now on, I will recognize his greatness. ”

"One last bet? What kind of bet? The moderator immediately asked about the point.

"If Link can really win all of the Western Conference Player of the Month this season, I'll be on the scene at the game after he wins the Player of the Month, and I will shave all my hair! That's right, on the spot, sit on the commentary podium, and take a barber with you. If Link does become a six-time winner of the Month at halftime, I'll shave my hair on the spot at halftime. But if Link can't do it, he'll have to shave his own hair. ”

Bill. Simmons said, gesturing to one of his hair.

For some people, a bald head is actually a look. There are a lot of bald hairstyles in the NBA, and no matter what era the bald head is one of the mainstream hairstyles in the league.

But Bill. Simmons shaved head...... The fans are still looking forward to it. He doesn't have any hair, which must be very funny.

As for Link, his bald head look is even more striking. Originally, most Asians don't have a good face shape for bald heads, and if Link plays in this year's playoffs with a bald head, he will definitely become the most beautiful boy in the game.

"Are you sure you're going to make this bet? Have you forgotten how you wore stockings because of your bet with Link? The host joked that Simmons and Link's hostile relationship began with that "women's gambling game" to be exact.

"Don't worry, this time, it's definitely not me who loses. If Link can do it, then I'm willing to gamble and lose. And, I will also acknowledge his greatness. If I lose this time, I'll never raise a bar with Link again in my life. I might even become a fan of him. ”

Simmons wasn't kidding, and if Link could win Player of the Month for an entire season, it would be great enough. At that time, Simmons didn't have any reason for Black Link.

Of course, that's basically impossible.

As soon as the show aired, Link immediately responded to his "old friend" on social media.

"I'm sure a lot of people are like me and really want to see Bill. Mr. Simmons' style after shaving his hair. Since he wanted to try it, why not let him try it? I accept Bill. Mr. Simmons' bet, we'll see you at the end of April. By the way, I also bought you a bunch of hats to choose from. ”

Link responded faster than anyone expected, and many people thought that Link would ignore Simmons, but Link accepted the bet right away.

Now, there are three months left until the end of the regular season. In other words, Link has to pocket the remaining three best months.

Everyone knew how difficult it was, but Link didn't think it was a problem.

First, he had this plan in the first place. This year, Durant has been on and off, and Curry and Harden are not yet in their prime, which is a good opportunity for Link to win all the best of the month.

Secondly, what if you lose? It's just a shaved head. In the NBA, the last thing that is lacking is bald heads. Maybe a few days before the start, fans will also complain about their bald image. But after looking at the habit, everyone will get used to it.

So in Link's view, shaving his head is not a "punishment" at all.

Since there will be no punishment, what is there not to dare to play?

As soon as Simmons got off the show, he received the news that Link had accepted the challenge.

At first, Simmons was shocked. But then, he smiled slightly.

Fear? I'm afraid it's not Link.

"I really admire his courage, he's definitely the bravest player in the league." When Simmons and his assistant said this, he himself was taken aback.

This may be the first time he's really affirmed Link.

Could it be that if you are really black, you will be black and have feelings?

Simmons shook his head and didn't think much more.

What kind of relationship he and Link will get along with in the future depends on the outcome of this last gamble.
